Oklahoma City’s first round pick has turned into one of the team’s unsung heroes.
The Thunder relies heavily on its youth, and that’s no secret. It’s been that way since the rebuild began during the 2020-21 season and it’s stayed the same now that Oklahoma City is back in contention.
Oklahoma City shifted slightly towards competing last season, and this year it feels like the foot is completely on the gas. If you’re not ready to play, you’re not going to play. The obvious example of that is Ousmane Dieng, who was a lottery pick a season ago, was stashed in the G League all season. And that’s not a bad thing.
Although game three was tough sledding for Wallace, Oklahoma City desperately needs his two-way presence. Lu Dort has racked up the fouls and missed so many triples through three games, making Wallace the Thunder’s best alternative option defensively.
